SUPT. KEIHLE has written lengthy re-
ply to the recent statements and dis
ordinations which followed the report
of the temperance text book commits
sion. He says that the commission holds
that it is the principal and not any par
ticular book which should be advocated.
He thinks the policy of the w. G. T. U.
has been detrimental to school work by
seeking to introduce politics into the
public schools and says:
lam of the opinion that the policy OF
advocating book rather than a princi-
pie must be abandoned; that it is liable
to all the results which have developed
heree in excess; that serfect freedam
must be given to the school officers in
the selection of their books; that text
book publishers should be left free to
meet the requirements of the educa-
tional demand, and not ask the en-
dorsement of any society; that temper
ance societies will best promote the
cause of temperance education through
the established channels, by informing
and awakening public sentiment, by
supporting good officers and teachers in
their work and especially by helping 10

the intrusion of politics, by insisting

THE President in his now famous letter
lays great stress upon his belief that the
G. A. R., as body is not to be held re-
sponsible for the expression of resent
ment and bad feeling against him, and
lays it to few unpatriotic ones who do
not really represent the true feelings of
the organization. The fact is, however,
that the most scathing denunciation of
the President was made by Commander
in-C Chief Fairchild himself, and it is safe
to say that that gentlemen would not
have been elected to be the head of so
great an organization unless his public
utterances were to be taken as in some
degree expressing the sentiments of the
members of the great Grand Army.
The truth of the matter is, the Presi-
dent utterly ignored the real cause for
the storm of indignation which rose
against him, namely the rebel flag cpl
sode, and seeks to divert attention from
that and create sympathy for himself by
charging leading men of the G. A. r.,
with motives which are insulting to them
as patriotic citizens of the U. s. That
there is strong feeling in the Grand
Army against the President is no doubt
true, and in view of his actions, it is
right that there should be, but to insin-
uate that these men would so far forget
their self-respect and their duty to their
country as to dishonor and refuse to re-
sepectfully receive the President of the
United States is to add insult to injury.
If Mr.. Cleveland thought it in best taste
to decline the invitation of st. Louis

words. His column letter of baby.

keeping with the position he occupies

TIE Pioneer Press has interviewed sew
eral prominent coal dealers in st. Paul
and finds that the general conviction is
that the commodity will advance in
price about the first of August 25 to 80
cents per ton. The basis for this as
sumption is the fact that lake boats are
taxed to their limit in filling shipping
contracts of iron ore and will be kept
busy until late in the fall. This has
had the effect of nearly doubling lake
transportation over last years prices.
The wages of laborers has also had the
effect of raising the price Of coal, the ad,
vance being from 35 to so cents pei
hour. A strike has been bre wing in the
antharicite districts for four weeks past
and with these combination of circum-
stances, together with the fact that
freight rates by rail are fully as high az
last year, it looks plausible that the
price of coal will be considerably in ad.
vance Of that asked the previous season
Messrs. Hubbard & Co., of Mankato
have not laid in a large supply as yet
being doubtful of future prices. If THE
eastern combination holds, fuel cannot
come down; if it breaks it is hard to tel
where prices will drop to-. Prices range
in this market from 1915 to $40 per ton
while last season 1926 was the rulinI
figure. If prices stay where they are
now, 1t is certain that wood will be in
great demand here this winter, for peo
] pie as a rule win not use coal at $40.

A PRESIDENTS PITiAnLE posi-
TON.

In the history of this Nelion, never
has there been president those action
has brought so much genui1e humility
upon its people as the recel escapadef
of Grover Cleveland. His recent OBJ
noxious order to have the rebel flags re-
turned to those who caused rivers Of
loyal human blood to flow stirred the
patriotism of not only those DO waded
through gore ankle deep. buz also those
who have drop Of blood 80 IN their
veins which Gibbs or flows q sympathy
with the victories won by NsEthern sol
diers. The contempt thess loyal men
hold for him, who by accide. occupies
the chief chair of the Nation hee been
resounded from one corner q the globe
to the other. Before this pidode ocs
Cured the citizens of st. Ltnis invited
Cleveland to visit st. Louisas the time
the National encampment ofthe G. A.
R. met, which viii be in eeptember
This invitation was ACCEPTED with
promptness But the subseQneRt insult
offered to the loval element of this
country by the President, calsed such
storm of indignant resentment as to
make him understand that he would be
entirely out of place IN company with a
body of men true and loyal d the Amer
lean flag, and heroes of mney battles.
Approaching this fact he ha4 written
bringing, cowardly letter to he Mayor
of st. Louis, Withdrawing hid FORMER ac-
ceptance of the invitation to Be present
at this great gathering of Old soldiers,
and by this very act acknowledges that
he has done them an irreparable wrong
and in consequence is AFRAID to face
them in assembly. His letter 81 declina-
ton or withdrawal is long drawn-out
document of can't and denlagoguery.
Finding nothing justifable in BIS former
action, he admits his guilt and unlocked
for cowardice by his last resoft. tits
humiliation of the dignity 81 the high
Office he accidentally and unfortunatelys
occupies not expected even M nonenti-
ty like Cleveland, and the people can on
ly look upon him with plying contempt.
The American people have never be-
fore been called upon to bow their heads
in shame for so cowardly an act exhibit
ed by their chief executive, and it is
hoped that they may never again pass
through a like trial.
1t is high time that Democracy and all
that its name implies, be relekated to a
back seat, if it cannot present man for
president of more brain and personal
pride than Cleveland has yet Exhibited.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The interstate
commission received long complaint
from Nelson L. Derby, ofSt. st. Thomas,
Oak, which is supplementary to those
already received from other farmers Of
that vicinity, all alleging refusal on
the part of the Manitoba BY. Co. to fur
nish cars for the shipment of the wheat
crop of that region. The complaint

and the free pass system is in full oper-

munity hang upon the Intervention
of the commission. 1t is stated as the
prevailing belief of the farmers that the
proprietor of the Central Elevator lines
by collision with railroad authorities,
has reached position from which he
controls the price of wheat, if not
through the entire country, certainly
through the spring wheat belt OF the
Northwest. The complainant narrates
some past experiences, among them
the receipt of an order from the rail-
road company to ship his wheat through
this particular elevator, accompanied by
intimation that if he did not
wish to do so he could stop raising wheat.

Jack Dempsey knocks out Toledo

TOLEDO, o., July 1.-THE long expect
ed glove contest between Jake Dempsy
the feather-weight champion from Cali
fornia and Chicago. and Frank hewitt
an amateur aspirant for fstic honors In
this city, occurred at daylight this morn.
ing at Bay Point, on Maumee bay, JUS
across the Michigan line, about twelve
miles from this city. About hundred
sporting men were present. Bay Point
was reached just after daybreak, a "a
foot ring constructed. and a short but
bloody battle of the rounds ensued. The
men used thin gloves with the fingers
of, and might as well have fought with
bare knuckles.
The first round was simply sparring.
The second round was holly contested.
hewitt struck Dempsy in the temple,
breaking his own hand. The men clinch-
ed again and again, but were separated.
The round ended by hewitt receiving a
terrible blow in the side.
The third was the bloodiest of all, Ne
witt doing little fighting and acting main
ly on the defensive. His nose was brok-
en- and his right eye badly battered by
Dempsey and he received a bad cut on
the head. The round closed by Demp-
sey knocking him out of the ring. Ne
witt being unable to rise, Dempsey was
declared the winner. The match was
for fifty dollars side and gate money.

HOLOCAUST AT HURLY.

Hurley, Wis.,, the Scene of Another
Disastrous CONFEDERATION.
HURLEY, Wis, July 11.-Fire broke
out on the stage of the Alcazar theateI
at 8 o'clock Saturday night, and within
an hour the entire business part of the
town was in flames. while IL persons
had persisted in the theater. The char.
red remains of nine people have been
taken from the ruins. The loss is fully
$500, 900. The Alcazar was variety
theater, chiefly frequented by miners,
and was one of the resorts of unsavory
repute, associated with the notorious
dance houses of the mining regions.
only small audience had gathered
when the Rso aksaka 4ss-s .4---.5l -sa.sy
scrambled out in a hurry. Several OF
the actors, however, rushed up stairs to
save their wardrobe and when they
sought to escape found that they were
hemmed in on all sides, the flames hay
ing spread through the wooden struc-
ture with incredible rapidity. The Al
cazar was in the very heart of the city.
1t was mass of flames in very short
time. The fire seemed to leap from
building to building until several blocks
became a roaring oven. 1t was not long
before every business building between
Third street and Fifth avenue was in
flames. All efforts to get the fire under
control seemed futile. The department,
reinforced by scores of volunteers, sent
its puny streams against the advancing
wall of flames, but had to retreat as the
fire swept resistlessly on. 1t did not
stop until material for it to feed upon
was lacking.

IT is believed at Washington that the
real, though concealed purpose of the
Presidents st. Louis letter, was to in
troduce discord into the the Grand
Army organization, with view to des-
troying its influence in the next cam
paign. 1t is fit to figure with the order
restoring the rebel flags, which is now
considered to have been finely laid
scheme to secure the solid vote of the
South in the nominating convention. 1t
is well-known that Cleveland is very So
licitous about his chances in the next
campaign, and he could no doubt be
easily persuaded that his recent letter
would be just the thing to stir up strife
among the veterans of the G.. A. r. and
demoralize the organization which has
lately been showing its teeth at some of
the Presidents doings. But Mr.. Cieyo-
land does not have much appreciation
of the feelings of the Grand Army men
or he would not make such an attempt.
The veterans were not to be foiled or
divided in their opposition to unloyalty,
and Grover Cleveland will find that
they are still of the same mind and will
stand together to the last against such
displays of toadyism to the late enemies
of the country such as the President has
INDUCED in.

A CONVENTION will be held at sault ST

A CONVENTION will be held at Sault Ste.
Marie July Goth, to urge upon the gov
eminent the necessity of constructing a
new ship canal through the 800" straits.
1t will be remembered that the Manka-
to board of trade some time ago selected
delegates to represent it in this conven-
ton. Delegates from all the important
lake ports will be present, including Buff
falo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Mil
waukee and Duluth. The convention
will doubtless ask the government to
commence the construction Immediately
of canal to cost several millions of dol
lars, and it is expected that the action of
such convention will have great weight
with congress. Capt. Reno, of Minne-
apolis, IN speaking of the matter yester-
day, said:
"The convention which meets at the
$500" July 20, is fraught with no little
importance, not only to the interests of
Minneapolis, but to those of the whole
Northwest" Gin the last five years
the volume of business which passes
through the present locks has in
creased many fold, so that the present
facilities are but barely adequate to han
die it. No man can say to what extent
it will increase during the next five
years, but it is certain to outstrip prev
ious records wonderfully, and if the ia
cilities are not vastly and Immediately
improved there is likely to be serious
blockade of lake business. We need a
new NAL Immediately, but of course it's
going to take time to build one, for it
must be large enough and substantial
enough to stand for a century.

THERE has been some doubt in the
minds of people interested in drive wells
as to what the recent decision of the
patent Office on the subject meant. A
Chicago firm dealing in drive well ma
chinery has taken the trouble to get the
opinion of a prominent patent attorney
upon the subject. He says the Govern
ment decided that the Green patent
which expired in 1882 was upon the
principal of the well itself and not upon
any particular machinery Wells that
were made during the time the patent
was in force may be subject to penalty,
but none made since 1882 are, nor is the
use of any of the machinery restricted.

TIE fiscal year, ending June 30th, be-
ing just out, very important M Uoverm-
ment affairs, q resume of Federal
finances for the period named is of in
terest. For that time Government re-
ceipts were $371, 3s0, 1898, against $685.
439, 727, the previous year. The dis
bursements for the same time. inclusive
of pensions and interest on the national
debt, were $26S, SIG, 100, against $242,-
4S3, 1873, the preceding year, the surplus
was $102, 1854, 703, against $93, $50, $50, the
year before. With the exception of the
years 1882, 1888, and 1884, the surplus
has not been so large since 1867. The
receipts are greatly in excess of the es-
Inmates. The Secretary ofthe Treasury,
in his annual report. December 1886, put
them at 1856, 100000. Thus the immense
surplus goes on piling mp, and the ques-
ton that dwarfs all others into utter in
significance is how to dispose oft, or
rather how to prevent the National
Treasury from absorbing all of the coun-
try's circulating medium and thus para
lie every interest of the people. Sena-
tor Sherman in fixing upon the Demo-
cracy the whole responsibility for the
existence of the surplus, says: "The
surplus in the Treasury should not be
there and it would not be there had the
Democratic Congress, or the House of
Representatives, which was overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, performed its duty,
which was clearly to reduce the taxes.
OF course the party is responsible for the
surplus. The leaders try to cut down
the revenue and disagreed among them
selves"
